This driver exposes a standard TTY interface on top of the rpmsg
framework through a rpmsg service.
This driver supports multi-instances, offering a /dev/ttyRPMSGx entry
per rpmsg endpoint.

Noone stepped up in the past two years since it was marked as BROKEN by
commit c7084edc3f (tty: mark Siemens R3964 line discipline as BROKEN).
Remove the line discipline for good.
Three remarks:
* we remove also the uapi header (as noone is able to use that interface
anyway)
* we do *not* remove the N_R3964 constant definition from tty.h, so it
remains reserved.
* in_interrupt() check is now removed from vt's con_put_char. Noone else
calls tty_operations::put_char from interrupt context.

While the driver is still marked as maintained in MAINTAINERS, Comtrol
does not really care about this ancient driver. They are still
manufacturing serial devices, but those are controlled only by
out-of-tree drivers.
Comtrol didn't answer my pings, so this driver is apparently
unmaintained. Aside from that, the driver was untouched for years, only
whole-tree changes happened during the past years. The driver needs much
more care, so drop it for now. If someone steps up to reintroduce it,
they need to clean it up first.

Intel Moorestown and Medfield are quite old Intel Atom based
32-bit platforms, which were in limited use in some Android phones,
tablets and consumer electronics more than eight years ago.
There are no bugs or problems ever reported outside from Intel
for breaking any of that platforms for years. It seems no real
users exists who run more or less fresh kernel on it. The commit
05f4434bc1 ("ASoC: Intel: remove mfld_machine") also in align
with this theory.
Due to above and to reduce a burden of supporting outdated drivers
we remove the support of outdated platforms completely.

This reverts commit 757055ae8d.
The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console
on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was
blank even when a better alternative existed.
It happened when there was no console configured
on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall
calling register_console().
Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs()
was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though
a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console
but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred
console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later.
The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there
for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aee
("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console=""
or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround
that was widely used and worked only by chance.
This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line
options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that
a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones
will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at
all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for
the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before.
The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions:
+ Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as
the ultimate fallback.
+ ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must
not become preferred console when used as a fallback.
Especially, it must still be possible to replace it
by a better console later.
Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code.
Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use
of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean
up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And
any changes tend to break existing user settings.
Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Finally allow parallel writes and reads into/from the lockless
ringbuffer. But it is not a complete solution. Readers are still
serialized against each other. And nested writes are still prevented
by printk_safe per-CPU buffers.
- Use ttynull as the ultimate fallback for /dev/console.
- Officially allow disabling console output by using console="" or
console=null
- A few code cleanups
* tag 'printk-for-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:

printk: inline log_output(),log_store() in vprintk_store()
printk: remove obsolete dead assignment
printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console="" or console=null
init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console
printk: ringbuffer: Reference text_data_ring directly in callees.
stdin, stdout, and stderr standard I/O stream are created for the init
process. They are not available when there is no console registered
for /dev/console. It might lead to a crash when the init process
tries to use them, see the commit 48021f9813 ("printk: handle
blank console arguments passed in.").
Normally, ttySX and ttyX consoles are used as a fallback when no consoles
are defined via the command line, device tree, or SPCR. But there
will be no console registered when an invalid console name is configured
or when the configured consoles do not exist on the system.
Users even try to avoid the console intentionally, for example,
by using console="" or console=null. It is used on production
systems where the serial port or terminal are not visible to
users. Pushing messages to these consoles would just unnecessary
slowdown the system.
Make sure that stdin, stdout, stderr, and /dev/console are always
available by a fallback to the existing ttynull driver. It has
been implemented for exactly this purpose but it was used only
when explicitly configured.

If no console driver is enabled (or if a non-present driver is selected
with something like console=null in an attempt to disable the console),
opening /dev/console errors out, and init scripts and other userspace
code that relies on the existence of a console will fail. Symlinking
/dev/null to /dev/console does not solve the problem since /dev/null
does not behave like a real TTY.
To just provide a dummy console to userspace when no console driver is
available or desired, add a ttynull driver which simply discards all
writes. It can be chosen on the command line in the standard way, i.e.
with console=ttynull.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Historically the N_TTY driver could never fail but this has become broken over
time. Rather than trying to rewrite half the ldisc layer to fix the breakage
introduce a second level of fallback with an N_NULL ldisc which cannot fail,
and thus restore the guarantees required by the ldisc layer.
We still try and fail to N_TTY first. It's much more useful to find yourself
back in your old ldisc (first attempt) or in N_TTY (second attempt), and while
I'm not aware of any code out there that makes those assumptions it's good to

The serdev bus is designed for devices such as Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS
and NFC connected to UARTs on host processors. Tradionally these have
been handled with tty line disciplines, rfkill, and userspace glue such
as hciattach. This approach has many drawbacks since it doesn't fit
into the Linux driver model. Handling of sideband signals, power control
and firmware loading are the main issues.
This creates a serdev bus with controllers (i.e. host serial ports) and
attached devices. Typically, these are point to point connections, but
some devices have muxing protocols or a h/w mux is conceivable. Any
muxing is not yet supported with the serdev bus.

Add TTY driver and consoles for the MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channel (FDC),
which is found on the per-CPU MIPS Common Device Mapped Memory (CDMM)
bus.
The FDC is a per-CPU device which is used to communicate with an EJTAG
probe. RX and TX FIFOs exist, containing 32-bits of data and 4-bit
channel numbers. 16 general data streams are implemented on this for TTY
and console use by encoding up to 4 bytes on each 32-bit FDC word.
The TTY devices are named e.g. /dev/ttyFDC3c2 for channel 2 of the FDC
attached to logical CPU 3.
These can be used for getting the kernel log, a login prompt, or as a
GDB remote transport, all over EJTAG and without needing a serial port.
It can have an interrupt to notify of when incoming data is available in
the RX FIFO or when the TX FIFO is no longer full. The detection of this
interrupt occurs in architecture / platform code, but it may be shared
with the timer and/or performance counter interrupt.
Due to the per-CPU nature of the hardware, all outgoing TTY data is
written out from a kthread which is pinned to the appropriate CPU.
The console is not bound to a specific CPU, so output will appear on the
chosen channel on whichever CPU the code is executing on. Enable with
e.g. console=fdc1 in kernel arguments. /dev/console is bound to the same
channel on the boot CPU's FDC if it exists.

The semantics of a rw semaphore are almost ideally suited
for tty line discipline lifetime management; multiple active
threads obtain "references" (read locks) while performing i/o
to prevent the loss or change of the current line discipline
(write lock).
Unfortunately, the existing rw_semaphore is ill-suited in other
ways;
1) TIOCSETD ioctl (change line discipline) expects to return an
error if the line discipline cannot be exclusively locked within
5 secs. Lock wait timeouts are not supported by rwsem.
2) A tty hangup is expected to halt and scrap pending i/o, so
exclusive locking must be prioritized.
Writer priority is not supported by rwsem.
Add ld_semaphore which implements these requirements in a
semantically similar way to rw_semaphore.
Writer priority is handled by separate wait lists for readers and
writers. Pending write waits are priortized before existing read
waits and prevent further read locks.
Wait timeouts are trivially added, but obviously change the lock
semantics as lock attempts can fail (but only due to timeout).
This implementation incorporates the write-lock stealing work of

This provides a console driver for the Goldfish virtual platform. The original
is from Arve with changes from Jun Nakajima and Tom Keel. This has been then
been ported to the current kernel and to the tty port mechanism by Alan Cox.
In the process it gained proper POSIX semantics and vhangup works. The default
name is not ttyS as this belongs to the 8250 driver. Instead ttyGFx is now used.
In the normal usage case the first port serves as a kernel logging console and
the second one carries various other data streams for the emulation.

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.
The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.
bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

The ePAPR embedded hypervisor specification provides an API for "byte
channels", which are serial-like virtual devices for sending and receiving
streams of bytes. This driver provides Linux kernel support for byte
channels via three distinct interfaces:
1) An early-console (udbg) driver. This provides early console output
through a byte channel. The byte channel handle must be specified in a
Kconfig option.
2) A normal console driver. Output is sent to the byte channel designated
for stdout in the device tree. The console driver is for handling kernel
printk calls.
3) A tty driver, which is used to handle user-space input and output. The
byte channel used for the console is designated as the default tty.

The n_tracerouter and n_tracesink line discpline drivers use the
Linux tty line discpline framework to route trace data coming
from a tty port (say UART for example) to the trace sink line
discipline driver and to another tty port(say USB). Those
these two line discipline drivers can be used together,
independently from pti.c, they are part of the original
implementation solution of the MIPI P1149.7, compact JTAG, PTI
solution for Intel mobile platforms starting with the
Medfield platform.

As planned by Arnd Bergmann, this moves the ipwireless driver to the
drivers/tty/ directory as that's where it really belongs.

The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to
drivers/tty/ to make things a bit neater overall.
This is part of the tty/serial driver movement proceedure as proposed by
Arnd Bergmann and approved by everyone involved a number of months ago.

As requested by Arnd Bergmann, the hvc drivers are now
moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory. The virtio_console.c driver
was also moved, as it required the hvc_console.h file to be able to be
built, and it really is a hvc driver.

The tty code should be in its own subdirectory and not in the char
driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.
